and I ran "automake --version" from the command line of the same shell that I
ran the "autogen.sh" from, so the paths are the same...  Though, if a new
shell is instantiated to run the autogen.sh, it would have the default paths.
But if I don't use "sh ./autogen.sh" and do "./autogen.sh" instead a new shell
shouldn't be launched.

Besides, automake is in /usr/bin...

I'm confused...
